I know a girl who leaves a DNA trail in every car she gets into. Yep, she plucks a hair from her head and leaves it in the car in case she gets murdered. She might be a little obsessed with Crime Scene Investigation shows.
This quirky behavior is fueled almost entirely by the TV shows she watches. She watches so much CSI and Investigate Discovery that she sees every car through the lens of a murder investigation.
I imagine trash bags, kitchen knives and murky lakes evoke the same response for her. Her mind has been tempered for murder investigations.
What is your mind tempered for? What entertainment and information do you consume?
Just like this girl experienced, the things you surround yourself with have an effect on the way you think. If you’re wanting to develop your creativity, you need to surround yourself with the creativity you wish to create.
A guy who consumes skateboarding sees every handrail as an opportunity. A woman who consumes interior design sees every piece of junk as a treasure.
There are opportunities all around us. We just need to be ready to see them. Surround yourself with the right thoughts. The right information. The right entertainment. Temper your thoughts for creativity.
